Check out some images from this great comic – and also see below for some pictures from The Forbidden Planet in Glasgow!

Courtesy of Peter, here is the entrance to Forbidden Planet in Glasgow – a mural by Frank Quitely that greets you as you enter the store.

The artwork on the stairs also by Quitely:

And also on the stairs:

Peter tells us that when Frank saw the pillars at the back of the shop, he thought of turning them into an homage to Crime Alley where the Waynes were murdered! The ‘Monarch’ cinema is actually a storage cupboard where Peter keeps overstock of graphic novels and comic supplies!

And chances are, you recognize this outline! Thanks, Peter, for sharing these pics!!

Siskoid and Chris Franklin’s coverage of The Brave and the Bold continues with issue #164 (July 1980) by J.M. DeMatteis, José Luis Garcia Lopez (Praise Be His Name) and Steven Mitchell, starring Batman and Hawkman! It’s “‘The Mystery of the Mobile Museum”.
